This beautifully restored, mid-terrace cottage built c.1821, offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The cottage is a cosy, comfortable retreat, providing two sun-soaked private decks (set on different levels), with spectacular views across to Hayle Sands and Godrevy Lighthouse. Enjoy the warmth of the sun all day long or if the weather turns stormy, witness breathtaking scenery. Carbis Bay, a designated ‘Blue Flag’ beach, is a five minute walk down through a steep, wooded valley, where you can hang out in the beach bar/restaurant, paddle in the sea or for the more adventurous, hire water-sports equipment. St Ives is a 25 minute walk along the stunning coastal path. Here you can explore a wide range of independent shops, restaurants and art galleries, surrounded by award winning, sandy beaches catering for both young families and seasoned surfers. A regular rail and bus service is available for the return journey home. As the sun goes down, unwind on your very own deck and watch the colours slowly fade over the bay.

Hillside Cottage is a little gem. Restored to a very good standard, this 200 year old building provides a comfortable and relaxing holiday accommodation. We enjoyed the outside area: wonderful view towards Porth Kidney beach from the back patio and the lower decking area give shelter for relaxing on a sun lounger. The location is perfect for beaches and a stroll not St Ives.

July 2020

Be prepared to burn some calories walking back from Carbis bay beach! Regular buses from outside the property some open top to St Ives, Penzance and lands end, the St Ives train station is 5ish mins walk and £1 one way £2 return. The cottage is very comfortable the standard of fittings etc. Very good, there is a smart TV and WiFi , kitchen well fitted with all you need including microwave, washing machine, oven electric ceramic hob, and dishwasher, there are 2 levels to the rear of the property with a great view of the bay, top deck with parasol chairs and table steps lead down to a lovely relaxing area with 2 wooden loungers. The view from the rear bedroom window Is spectacular With the sun rising early morning 5 am when we were there - was a must every day - the sun sets to the front of the property casting beautiful sunlight to the front bedroom. There is plenty of draw storage and hanging hooks for clothes. For those wanting to eat in the Tesco is a 5 min walk, there is an excellent Italian tapas style restaurant within walking distance that does take away as well and becks fish and chips Close by both eat in and take away, we also tried the Chinese delivery service from the St Ives restaurant and that was very good and arrived on time Bear in mind the cottage is on a very busy road, it’s not at all noisy but crossing the road to the car park area opposite can be a challenge and is best attempted by walking down the road a little to the left before crossing - the entrance to where the car is parked is on a bend again when pulling out advice is to turn left rather than right We loved our week at the cottage and will defiantly return , such a wonderful area plenty to Do and explore.

Tom Bawcock's Eve, Mousehole

The tradition of Tom Bawcock comes from the feast or famine lifestyle of Cornwall.  The story goes that it was just before Christmas; there had been no fish for weeks, the boats couldn’t get out into the raging storm, the village was starving. One man, Tom Bawcock, dared to take his boat out of the harbour’s safety. He returned with enough fish to make fish pie for the whole village. 

Today, a festival takes place each year to celebrate Tom Bawcock's bravery. During the festival, Star Gazey pies are eaten in memory of this famous event.
